I recieved two pop ups asking if I would allow firefox to record video and take pictures. Then the second asked if could allow firefox to record audio. I denied both and check marked to Never ask again in future. Which I've done in past at least twice. Has anyone had this happened to them or does anyone know how to forward this info and pics onto firefox?

Firefox only request audio and video access when a website request access to these features of your phone. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-android-use-permissions-it-requests

Firefox supports these features to allow video communication sites such as https://appear.in to function without the use of Flash.

Firefox will work just fine if you deny the requests. The site you are using may not function if they truly need access to your camera and microphone.
